Keith Wenning injury: Ball State starting QB hurt while catching pass

That's an extremely MAC injury, but Ball State's still in a very serious situation with top quarterback Keith Wenning hurt.

With a catch earlier in the year and two punts last year (in addition to his effective ground game), Wenning has always been a quarterback with more than just an arm.
